Then the demand for all the products

RAILROADS.

This year, it seems, is not only to be
an unprecedented year for real estate
booms. but also for railroad building.
Among the big railroad schemes we
notice the 800" or Sault st. Marie
Route, which is to give the Northwest
north of Chicago, and with a choice of
ports at Montreal or New York, and
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
which has projected thousand miles
of new road, to cross new lands in the
Indian Territory, New Mexico, etc.,
and extend to Ell Paso. In this vicin-
ity we note number of movements.
The Illinois Central has suddenly
sprung into the field and is surveying

line from Fort Dodge to Sioux Falls
has been surveyed, psssinR through
Osceola and Lyon counties south of US.
We hope that some road will decide
to build north through Worthington
and force the B. G. r. & N. to 20
ahead or abandon that route, but we
see nothing ''in the air" indicating
that there is to be any railroad build.
ing here this season.
We learn that six hundred millions
of dollars will be put into building
new railroads this year.

The Roston syndicate represented by

continuous tract now aggregates 1850
acres.
The purchases about Topeka which
Col. Broadus and the syndicate with
which he is connected are making,
reach into the millions, and millions
more are to be expended in improving
it. If Col. Broadus should become in
